Stumbling together through Unreal Tournament 3 - Part 2

[davidn]

At last, here's the second chapter of the great Unreal Tournament 3 project - I've worked out how to get it to upload in high-definition so this time you might even be able to see what's going on.

This time, you can see rakarr and I having a great deal of difficulty getting past level... er... two. Our mission as given by surrogate Samuel L Jackson is to join with the Izanagi to eliminate the scouts from somewhere or other, I don't know, it's a team battle - that's all you need to know. Technical issues still feature, but rather less prominently than they did in part 1.

You never told me that the Incredible Hulk from last episode, what with his four tons or so of armor and muscle, was actually the sveltest character in this game!

I can just see it now:

"My armour has insufficient eagles! Needs more, yes!"
"But sir, you've already got-"
"Needs more!"
"But surely five is enou-"
"MORE. EAGLES."



"MORE!"

:P

That's a rather good representation of what was happening to cause my CPU to overheat, actually.

Okay, it was dust instead of eagles, but it was doing much the same thing - deliberately snuggling in to cause heat death, like bees sometimes do to their queen.

You have to be female (or a severely stripped-down robot) to have a chance of being thin in this game, and then you probably have to deal with half the weight (where weight = armour + biceps) being transferred to your chest.

Okay, so that's an assumption based on games in general, and in UT3 it's actually nowhere near as bad as some things (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfVHfOULaJY). (This link is not particularly worksafe!)
But I did notice that Jester's bereft of chest armour so her assets can be shown. Presumably the area is robust enough without.it.

Yes, when I said Malcolm was very big in the Unreal series I hadn't considered how literally that could be taken. By the time you get to Major and above their officers are cased in three layers of titanium with fifty-eight eagles, weigh as much as an HGV and are wider than they are tall.

I'm having... huge difficulty parsing this picture! My eyes just keep on travelling around and around it, looking for a head.

I can't believe you got your temperature down from 90 to 50 just by dusting it out...! That must have been piled on pretty thick.

That is... I don't even know what that is, apart from some sort of sexual predator simulator. I found it cute to watch her sleeping at first, but like a hug, after about fifteen seconds I was wondering where it was going and ten minutes was definitely too much.

I think that UT3 isn't actually too bad in the chest-armour department so far (you mentioned in the introduction video!)... although admittedly it would be above a positively subterranean bar.

It was Colonel A'ight in the fan casing with the eagles!
